Wayland's Smithy
Date Added: 3rd Dec 2019
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Oxfordshire)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 1987
Wayland's Smithy submitted by TimPrevett on 19th May 2017. Collage showing a remarkable encounter with a mouse at Wayland's Smithy at its entrance. This mouse and I had each others' eye contact for about a minute before it dove between the horizontal facing stones. One of those happenings on visiting ancient sites which on one level is mere fortune and synchronicity but on another feels very meaningful and profound.
A little video of this on my instagram account here.

Maiden Castle (Dorset) submitted by pab on 16th Oct 2011. Moon at dawn over Maiden Castle.
Just before sunrise, with the almost full moon about to set.
One of those mornings when you feel it is worth getting up early to catch nature's magic working in a magnificent setting.
This photo is looking across the north east rim, with the early morning mist beginning to catch the light from the rising sun.
October 2011

Swinside
Date Added: 23rd Apr 2020
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cumbria)
Visited: Would like to visit
Swinside submitted by Energyman on 27th Sep 2017. I've just re-read the initial description, and have to amend it slightly. The circle is not quite complete - There were originally 57 stones, 3 are missing, making 54. This took me two days to work out, going from Jack Morris-Eyton's originals. The drone picture here I just managed with a rickety, unstable lash-up.

Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino de Santiago de Chile
Date Added: 19th Nov 2020
Site Type: Museum
Country: Chile
Visited: Yes. My rating: Condition 5 Ambience 3 Access 5
Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino de Santiago de Chile submitted by davidmorgan on 4th Aug 2019. These remarkable wooden statues were placed on top of tombs in ancient Mapuche cemeteries. They reflect the spirit (am) of those buried there and are intended to assist them in their journey to the afterlife. Chiefs and great warriors were sent to the east after death, to roam among the volcanoes of Kalfumapu, the "blue land". All others went to the west, to eat bitter potatoes beyond the sea.
